Why does the US Government hold a patent on Ebola? Patent # ca2741523a1

There was a U.S. report about a month ago in which the woman reading mentions the Ebola outbreak as "The Ebola attack"... Not "epidemic", not "outbreak", "attack". As if it were intentionally released.

Look at the world today compared to a year ago. All these crises occurring at once.

Ebola outbreak
ISIS
Russia/China tensions at all time high
Ukraine
Extreme Weather/seismic activity
increased meteorite activity
economy on the verge of collapse
Prophecies coming to light (supposedly pope Francis is to be the final pope...)

and many more.

It's as if reality is tossing in the towel. "Fu#k it", let'em die.

Agreed... something doesn't feel right. Wonder what the future holds for us all...

Wait a minute. Ebola is naturally occurring. They cannot patent it - at all! It's the same reason why pharmaceutical companies cannot patient THC from weed plants. This "patent" has to be illegal.

Weird.. that says the new Ebola is closest to Ebola Ivory Coast, but we have been told in the media it was closest to (and originally considered as) Ebola Zaire.

Pretty sure that last year, we had many of these conditions as well.

Last year around this time, the viral flavor of the month was measles.

ISIS existed but wasn't getting quite so much press.

Russia was dealing with sketchy tea kettles from China:

Syria was last year's Ukraine in a way:

The weather was filled with extremes with it reaching its pinnacle with Haiyan.

Russia had had that phenomenal atmospheric meteorite kaboom that taught us that a lot of Russians have dashcams and nerves of steel:


The economy has been on the verge of collapse for about 6 years now.

Prophecies schmocephies.

The patent application is referring to a strain which was found in Uganda in 2007.

Er.. so.. still.. how can they patent it at all if it's naturally occurring? Naturally occurring and didn't belong to the US Gov to begin with.

They probably can't.
The application was submitted before the supreme court decision.

You lost me. What supreme court decision? The virus was found in 2007 - I thought that law that says no one can patent anything that occurs in nature predates 2007 - doesn't it?
